Different STYLES Of Rldlng.

Few people who have not given the matter
their attention are at all aware of the numer-
Gus styles Of riding deemed the best by the
adherents OF each and the wide variation
between the different types. The variety Of
horse furniture is as great as the different
STYLES Of riding. and the advocates Of each
are able to see little good in any other The
English fox hunter rides on fiat saddle, with
short stirrups, stepped well forward. the
Arab uses even a shorter stirrup, but rides a
deep saddle. while our horse Indians, as fine
equestrians a. eau be found in the world, ride
with a nearly straight leg, as do the Mexicans
and cowboys The English saddle and seat
is excellent for the purpose it was intended,
for riding over obstacles, when frequent falls
are inevitable, but is out Of place anywhere
else. and it is absurd to see people copy the
English saddle and seat where the reasons for
1t do not pertain
For all around purposes tue cavalry saddle
and seat is the best, and cavalry hOrseman-
ship throughout the world differs but little.
A deep saddle, short seat, and a straight leg
give the firmest hold, and are far less fatigu-
ing to the rider An army saddle would be
out OF place in the hunting field, but scarcely
more out Of place than the hunting seat IN
park riding The wretched jiggering up and
down on fiat saddle with short stirrups,
that is so generally seen among the green
riders in Forest park, Is at once offensive and
ridiculous 10 the eye Of every COOL hoNeman,
and IA very little reasoning should show those
who practice it its absurdity. -Cayalry OH

ating the Agricultural and Mechanical
college from the University, and allowing
it to be, as similar institutions already are
in many states, an Independent college,
governed by an independent board, and
supported by the income from its bonded
endowment and by appropriations from
the general revenue. Such solution has
much to recommend it. 1t would at once
and forever settle the matter. 1t would
doubtless be acceptable to the directory
of the Agricultural and Mecanical college,
and the regents are free to say that they
would prefer it to any other way by which
the present difficulty could be removed
In case, however, the submission of a
constitutional amendment to the people
be deemed inexpedient on account of its
cost, its delays, and its uncertainties, the
only way to avoid the evils resulting from
the present conflicting relations is to
place the Agricultural and Mechanical
college, with all its resources, under the
control and direction of the present uni
versity regency, thus making it, in the
language of the constitution, "a branch of
the University of Texas for instruction in
agriculture, the mechanic arts and the
natural sciences connected Herewith"
The rights of this branch to the income
from its special endowment, and to slch
appropriations as the Legislature might
choose to make from the general revenue,
can be strictly guarded and defined by
statute. In case the. Agricultural and
Mechanical college is thus put by act of
the legislature under the control and di'
rection of the board of regents there will
be necessary an additional income from
the university fund, which may be esti-
mated at $40 600.

regiment of men, not posse comita us,
to defend them. We were familarizing
the people with the idea that the laws
were too weak and to look for a strong
centralizing government. If engine kill
ing was crime there should be penalty
for it severe enough to stop 1t, and it was
right to provide such penalty as will
deter men from the commission of such
offenses. He concluded with a reference
to the fearful consequences of the great
strikes in Galveston and cities in the
north.
Mr.. Nicholson said, being in favor of
law and order, l ana in favor of that
amendment.
Mr.. Newton, of Tarrant, Knight of
Labor representative said, being in favor
of law and order, am opposed to that
amendment. 1t is not possible to enforce
such law. Let the law remain as it is to
be enforced by public sentiment.
Mr.. Bell, of Cooke, took strong ground
against the amendment. We are not
here, he said, because of some bubble
upon the surface to turn our code into
spiteful record. The only reason for
such punishment seems to be that mil
lions of dollars of property are involved
in temporary Interruptions to transpor-
tation. 1 say, away with such cry-such
bowling down to the golden calf and kis-
sing the hands of those men who have
their hold on the neck and Threats

policy to cry down the policy of labor
and would make men turn and renG you,
You ought to meet out even handed jus
tice and punish men according to their
offenses, while you are guilty of bowling
down with those who worship The golden
calf. France crushed her people down
and when the rebound came it deluged her

assert their rights it was because there
was some wrong to be righted, and you
will never restore the right by trying to
cry down those who are trying to assert
their rights.
